NYSEG will perform testing with up to six ESCO/Marketers in one test batch. The schedule for NYSEG 's EDI test batches is below. To request enrollment in one of the available test batches, Please email NYSEG Supplier Relations at supplier_relations@rge.com more than 30 days prior to the start of the test batch.

EDI Test 2026 Schedule (test batch dates subject to change) 

The duration of testing depends on the ESCO’s EDI Service Provider.  ESCOs using an already established EDI Service Provider at NYSEG may complete testing in as little as one day, while an ESCO using a new EDI Service Provider to NYSEG may complete testing in approximately six weeks (three weeks core testing; three weeks single bill testing).   

Further detailed information about EDI testing can be found in the PSC's Orders regarding Case 98-M-0667 in the Technical Operating Profile document and supplements.
